TERNS--S2. 90 PER YEAR
Tobogganiug in Canada.


The scene upon 4 winters cveuiaE
is picturesque and gorgeous. Shortjy
after dusk the guests begin to assem-
hle. young and old. men and women.
beiE~ for the greater part aparclled in
proper costume. and bringing with
/ them skates and toboggans. The lady
! wears 1 suit of blanket cloth. white
blue. n,yrtie, or magenta. the same
being fauciially trimmed with colorS
to match. Upoh her feet she has buff
moccasins. and upon her head q tOque
of rich color with 4 lopg streaming
tasseI. The men wear similar costumes
knee breechcs, and long black stock
ings. Ii frequently happens that
neither moon nor star is to be Ieen
upon one of these festive evenings at
th9 hall, and then an enormous bon
fire, constructed of many cords of dry
logS. burns III the midst of the
ground. its gusts Of flame playing
amtrG the pines, and 7aking u thous-
and shatscss into mad Isvel. Those
who are afraid to descend the dizzy
slides stand in the glare of the giant
fire. and the ear iDrthest from
the flame may turn white. while the
nigh one is red. for the mercurr is at
the moment probably twenty degrees
below zero 1t j. seldom that a more
Gorgeous spectacle is presented than
when = couple of hundred costumed
guests gather ahrut this fire, the colors
of their garments frightened by the
glare, and the gloomy depths of the
pine woods forming Il background Tor
the picture.,
But all the excitement is in another
direction. From the heads of each OF
the slides, already referred to. descends
an icy trough, and along each side
hsngs a row of Chinese lanters, whose
sober, rswavering glow is constant
rebuke to tic mad reveling down the
slippery steep. Rsch toboggan accom-
m6dates from two to four persons, the
steerer throwing himself upon his side
and steering his conveyance in its light
ming career by a qwek touch of his
moccasined toe. The speed of tobog-
gan is equal to that of lightning ex-
press, and during my descent l imagin-
ed that | was falling sheer down
precipice; and my heart and complete
interior economy seemed TO rise into my
throat. No object is distinguishable
during the downward plunge. Chinese
lanterns, returning tobogganers, the
iry hank. and the mntinnleSs spectators
all being mingled like the passing en-
semble of a kaleidoscope, No one
seems to enjoy this exciting passage so
much as the Canadian girl. and pie
turesque sight it is to see her as she is
shot past, her toque and headwrap
streaming behind, her eyes cleaning
with excitement. But either by night
or day there is only the space of heart
beat given you to note her look. for she
goes past, bravely reliant upon the gal
liant steersman, with the impetuosty of
a hot-bolt.-Edmnnd Collins, IN Brook

The theory now entertained by DR. Nc

pastor Of St. STEPHENS: that he will return to
his home in the rectory. and that he VIII then

Child-lips have kissed the bloom away.

OF such a mellowed blood is she,

Rounds never 10 a memory.

The sweetest mirage of youth and beauty
On Helen's cheek forever lies.
